This book was released on 1992 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical training module on entomological field techniques for malaria control presented in two separately bound parts. The first, addressed to learners, provides step-by-step instructions in the field, and work needed to secure comprehensive information about the mosquito population in a given area. Information is presented in a series of 13 illustrated learning units, moving from the simplest collecting techniques that can be practiced in the laboratory to more sophisticated procedures that must be undertaken in the field. Techniques covered include hand collection methods, indoor collection after pyrethrin spraying, direct catches of mosquitoes from animal and human bait, and collection of larvae and pupae from breeding sites. Other units help readers learn how to identify species at all stages of the life cycle, keep accurate records, and preserve and transport specimens under strictly controlled conditions. The need to gain the cooperation of the community is also thoroughly explained. The second part, addressed to tutors, offers practical advice on the organization and running of training courses. Like the first part, the Tutor's Guide is divided into a series of learning units with clearly specified learning objectives. Information is provided on the equipment needed for teaching a particular topic, on demonstrating a particular technique, and on any support services that may be required. Each unit offers guidance on appropriate teaching methods with more detailed suggestions supplied in an annex. The book also provides advice on the assessment of learners and on how to give them feedback on their progress.

Download or read book Malaria written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1996-12 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains the many simple things that community health workers can do to treat malaria prevent new cases and thus help reduce the alarming number of deaths particularly in young children and pregnant women. Practical in its approach the manual concentrates on activities that are within the competence of health workers and feasible and affordable at the community level. Information ranges from a basic explanation of the disease and its transmission to tables illustrating correct treatment schedules for different age groups. The manual which is abundantly illustrated can be used in training courses as a support to the health worker's day-to-day activities or as a tool for health education in the community. The main purpose is to communicate basic facts and messages that if widely understood within a community could do much to reduce the incidence and severity of malaria. Chloroquine is presented as the first-line treatment. The manual has three parts. The first explains what community health workers can do to control malaria and lists the essential medicines and equipment needed. Part two introduces basic facts about malaria and the behaviour of mosquitos and elaborates three main approaches to malaria prevention in communities. The third and most extensive part sets out step-by-step instructions for the recognition and treatment of malaria giving particular attention to standard malaria treatment schedules measures for ensuring compliance what to do when standard treatment fails and how to recognize treat and refer severe cases. The management of malaria in young children and pregnant women also receives special attention.

Download or read book Vector Control written by Jan A. Rozendaal and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1997 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive, illustrated guide to vector control methods suitable for use by individuals and communities. Published at a time when large-scale control programs organized by governments are declining, the manual aims to help non-professionals understand the role of vectors in specific diseases and then select and use control methods that are appropriate, effective, affordable, and safe. Hundreds of simple, inexpensive and often ingenious techniques, developed and used in a host of different settings, are presented and described in this abundantly illustrated guide. The manual is intended to assist health workers at district and community level, in aid organizations, in refugee camps, or in resource development projects who do not have direct access to experts in entomology, yet need methods for controlling the vectors of such important diseases as malaria filariasis leishmaniasis schistosomiasis dengue and trypanosomiasis. With this audience in mind, the book combines non-specialist factual information about vectors and the diseases they cause with practical advice on control measures, whether involving the use of insecticides, environmental modifications, or the construction of simple devices from local materials. Details range from a table showing where and when the different groups of biting Diptera are active to a recipe for preparing plaster to protect homes against triatomine bugs, from step-by-step instructions for the construction of cheap insect traps, to advice on how to impregnate bed nets and curtains with suitable insecticides. The book opens with a brief description of recent changes in the approach to vector control, followed by a discussion of factors that can influence the success of control measures undertaken by individuals and communities. The core of the manual consists of eight chapters focused on each of the major vectors and groups of vectors: mosquitos and other biting Diptera; tsetse flies; triatomine bugs; bedbugs, fleas, lice, ticks, and mites; cockroaches; houseflies; cyclops; and freshwater snails. Each chapter includes pertinent facts about the vector's life cycle, behavior, and favorite habitats, the diseases it causes, and their clinical features, including opportunities for prevention, treatment, and control. Against this background, methods for control are presented in great detail. Since the use of control measures is often constrained by lack of resources as well as lack of knowledge, most methods described are simple and cheap, do not require much training or supervision, and are safe for both the user and the environment. The remaining chapters offer guidance on the principles and practice of house spraying with residual insecticides, and provide instructions for the safe use of pesticides and the emergency treatment of poisoning.
